What to do with philo after relic ?

[Little_Ifrit]

I use it to get Darklight for my alt jobs. Its a nice feeling when you hit 50 in a new job and its already decked out in ilvl70.

But isn't AK gear better ?

And there can't be much AK gear that I don't have at this stage.

I might go with the but one or two mats to get off the cap and wait until next week. Good suggestion.

Maybe some pieces with acc? AK gear is ilvl60 while DL gear is ilvl70 so it does have overall stat increase but some side stats might be different between the two imo.
As a tank I swore not to wear that robot DL body piece so kept the AK Hopelite head/body but DL gear did offer some more def boost, just a little more. Now I have AF+1 which is better than DL.

DL provides substantially more vitality than AK gear, in addition to other stats. It is 10 levels higher than AK gear.

Come 2.1 when AK gear is ilvl 55, it will be an even bigger gap too.

Get mats do i70 crafts and meld them.those equips got 21+ stats above dl.some are almost on par with allagan/myth ((most of them surpass raw stat number than af2 allagan,but af2 has more of your main stats,so they are close to equal))

No... Aside from the rare VIT build, Allagan/Myth gear will always be better than Darklight/ilvl 70 crafted gear. Always. Always.

Come 2.1 when AK gear is ilvl 55, it will be an even bigger gap too.

Uhhhh what? AK gear isn't getting nerfed.

Yes it is, AK is being dropped to ilvl 55. Was in the previous live letter.

From Rein's Translation "y; AK wil be eased a bit, it will be like WP so the gear will be eased as well"

Um...yeah. Official source, please?
Not that I'm not grateful to Reinhart for his translations, but even he notes that live translation is a difficult task.

Can you give a link?

Because I can find nothing like that in the last live letter summary.

"A: Item-level wise, if you've collected all of your job-specific equipment you'll be able to challenge this dungeon. The equipment you can receive as rewards are item level 60. We've made adjustments to the difficulty of Pharos Sirius and the hard mode dungeons so they are on par with each other. We'll also be easing the difficulty of Amdapor Keep, making it the same level as the Wanderer’s Palace, so we will also be adjusting some of the reward items as well."

Looks like it's accurate. Kind of a waste of time, IMO, though.
